Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has meant so much to me for such a long time that I feel I should be most ungrateful if I did not try to express some of the joy it has brought into my life. I came into it for the healing of nervous indigestion and constipation.

When Christian Science came to me I was said to be on the brink of the grave. I was born and reared in Germany, and was living there at the time Christian Science came to my attention.

I am very grateful for an instantaneous healing in Christian Science, and for the proof that with every ill destroyed we are stronger and better able to overcome seemingly greater discords. One summer evening biliousness seemed to get the better of me.

I heard of Christian Science over ten years ago, while I was staying with friends in Canada. I did not know at first that they were Christian Scientists, but soon understood that they had something I lacked, something that seemed so peaceful that when I learned they were Christian Scientists I just walked into Science without hesitating; and since then I have known only blessings.

After considerable physical suffering I came to Christian Science for healing. I had been looking to materia medica for relief for some time, but had received no help; so, on the advice of an acquaintance who had been much benefited through Christian Science treatment, I sought the help of a practitioner.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. For some years I suffered from stomach trouble, often having to be away from my work for a week or two at a time.

I have enjoyed the benefits of Christian Science since a small child, and wish to express my appreciation for all the help received. I have experienced the healing of grief, unemployment, influenza, sprained ankle, fallen arches, tonsillitis, eyestrain, colds, and other discordant conditions.

In the spring of 1909, after many years of suffering which seemed to become more intense under medical treatment, I was persuaded to make a final attempt to regain my health through a change of climate. For two years this change appeared to be somewhat beneficial, but during the succeeding eighteen months I lost all that I had gained and was worse than ever.

I wish to testify to the many blessings I have received since studying Christian Science. For many years I was an invalid, and I had been told by doctors that the only thing which could put me right was an operation.

One morning I put a pot of wax on the gas stove to melt, in order that I might wax some flowers. Just then I was called to the telephone.
